Today at the American Public Power Association's Engineering & Technical
Operations conference, Silver Spring Networks, Inc. (NYSE: SSNI)
announced it is extending its smart infrastructure platform with a new
smart grid solution optimized for the unique needs of municipal and
cooperative utilities. With a focus on making it easy to rapidly scope,
deploy and test results, the new solution is a cost-effective and
ready-to-deploy smart grid offering that enables municipal and
cooperative utilities to rollout a sophisticated Advanced Metering
Infrastructure program for electricity, water, and natural gas customers
today. The new standards-based solution also establishes a foundation
for future initiatives such as Demand Response, Distribution Automation,
and other critical municipal infrastructure applications. Silver
Spring's open IPv6-based networking platform enables utilities and
infrastructure operators of all sizes, and across all geographies, to
deploy a broad array of smart grid and Smart City solutions today.

"Almost 40 million customers are served by 3,000 municipal and
cooperative energy providers in the US alone. Providing these operators
with a cost-effective and ready-to-deploy solution means that all
citizens can benefit from the full capabilities of our industry leading
smart infrastructure platform," said Scott Lang, Chairman, President &
CEO of Silver Spring Networks. "Our proven, standards-based networking
infrastructure enables rapid deployment of new and innovative smart grid
solutions and establishes the foundation for future Smart City services
such as streetlight control, traffic management, and other municipal
infrastructure applications."

Silver Spring is partnering with CPS Energy, the largest combined
electricity and natural gas municipal utility in the United States, to
deploy a smart grid network that includes advanced metering,
Distribution Automation, and demand reduction solutions across CPS' San
Antonio, Texas service territory. Silver Spring is also partnering with
the Sacramento Municipal Utility District to deliver multiple smart grid
applications over the Silver Spring network, including Advanced
Metering, Distribution Automation for improved reliability, and
communications to in-home devices.

"Silver Spring's open, standards-based networking platform gives us the
foundation we need to deliver advanced smart grid services to all of
Sacrameto's citizens," said Paul Lau, Assistant General Manager of
Power Supply and Grid Operations of the Sacramento Municipal Utility
District. "Much the same way smartphones have opened up a new wave of
consumer applications, together with Silver Spring we are creating the
platform for next-generation smart grid applications and services for
our users."

The new Silver Spring Municipal and Cooperative Smart Grid Solution
combines all of the networking infrastructure, hardware, head-end
software, and professional services required to cost-effectively and
quickly initiate an Advanced Metering Infrastructure program for
electricity, water and natural gas customers today. With this new
solution, municipal and cooperative utilities can improve operational
efficiency, increase overall system reliability, speed outage detection
and service restoration, empower consumers, and establish a
future-proofed platform for long-term power grid modernization. For more
